Ray Lucero Poems

How often have they felt pain
From many childhood wounds
Abused by fathers gone insane
Precious children brought to ruin
...

Weary Sun slipped ‘neath horizon
After a summer’s day, gift of light
'Twas a truly auspicious occasion
As pale Moon ushered in the night
...

When young girl, a victim of abuse
‘Twas later attracted to older men
Alas, sexual nymphet on the loose
Slain by a heart she couldn’t mend
...

Satan rules Earth with fear ‘n terror
By seducing men with gold ‘n power
Drunken fools, care not they error
When Gaia reclaims they will cower
...

Eternal lovers, you and I
Bound by sagacious souls
'Tho detractors may decry
Steadfast love doth console
...

Steinbrenner kids take over club for sick dad
Cut a deal with NYC for brand new stadium
Buy land cheap; ask public funds, smart lads
Beware Kucinich getting hotter than radium
...

First Master of bounteous seas
Created all life in briny waters
Possessed shape-shift abilities
Passed on to sons ‘n daughters
...

(Sumerian Mythology)

Tenth planet in our solar system
As yet, unseen and undiscovered
...

(Sonnet To Tree Lovers)

How beautiful this place, we named “Cedar Haven”
Nestled in the foothills, on west slope of Mt Hood
...

This morn she said again “You snore”
An accusation I now dare not ignore
To put an end to this ongoing fight
I’ll stay awake tonight, see if she’s right
...
